You may try another 'static' propeller part, driven by a nav light visibilty condition (the condition does work for a turboprop, which T-6 is).

Looks great Kev!! That prop is really good. Hope I can get the P-3's props to look like that.

Thanks Rip for the tut. I'll read this as soon as possible. My main problem has always been: I don't know enough to understand the lingo so it takes me a while to figure things out. (so far the P-3's gestation period has been 9 months!) :roll:

Beautiful :D

One question. Is it possible to remove the pilots when the a/c is parked?

Kev

Dan made all the repaints in fact - I am no good at all in painting

but anyway, the RGB code for the blue is 0,0,16 - almost black
Alpha channel is 221 for R,G and B

Todays changes / updates

Added the extra canopy frame that the T-6 has and the PC-9 doesn't.

Added appropriate T-6A aerials

Added front wheel cover

Anim changes - Canopy opens on aircraft active, closes on beacons on, pilots visors close strobes on.
Pilots now only appear when aircraft active.

To do -
Find decent pic of main uncarriage so I can texture them.
Add chocks, had forgotten about them!!!!

My personal opinon is that this aircraft is one of the greatest AI designs I ever saw. As I'm addicted to detail even with AI, I would say that the shape as also the textures appearance is fantastic. I can't wait... :D

Also I'm thinking that, if fully combatible now or in the future, this aircraft will show very nice within FSX too. Quite important, thinking onwards.

Thanks Weescotty for the wonderful bird! 8)
